Sooooo, I''ma guessing Mac is back? I wish you good health, Mac.

 

[calsnowskier]

Do you think the coaches have walked Mack through the OF and pointed out any potential obstacles?

Here’s to breaking the trend of playing from behind after the home half of the first. Hopefully Mac got his mojo back and can be the player we know he can be.

Maybe we can have a real middle-of-the-order again with Posey (maybe) and Mac (maybe). It's been a loooooong time.

Gonna depend on those in front of them. They can hit all the want, but if the top of the order ain’t getting on its all for naught

A solo bomb is still preferred to a weak Huffer to second...

That is asking for a lot! Only Belt (.341), Posey (.313) and Duggar (.307) have on base percentages above .300 (if you don't count Austin and Vogt, who are both at .400 in a combined 45 PAs) and both Posey and Duggar's aren't that great. Unfortunately, our lead off man, Panik, sports a .277 OBP.

Well, as we all know, if they don't score in the first that will cause Bum to crap the mound...

I know you're being facetious, but this did come up today:

 

[jeep99tj]

Mr Fucking Pillar!!

 

[SFGRTB]

We talked about this last April when he was on fire, but we really don't need Mac to be elite. If he hits .240 but with a .500 SLG% I'm all for that

 

[SFGRTB]

Mr Fucking Pillar!!

Keep adding on
